Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68148&edit=1 ID: 68148 User updated by: pegasus at vaultwiki dot org Reported by: pegasus at vaultwiki dot org -Summary: $this is null inside eval +Summary: $this is null inside include Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Centos 6 64-bit PHP Version: master-Git-2014-10-03 (Git) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: updated title Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-03 20:24:58] pegasus at vaultwiki dot org It has nothing to do with the eval, and has to do with $this not being available from an included script. Create second file called hello.php: #### <php? echo $this->hello; #### Use this test case from another file: #### class Test { public $hello = 'hi'; public function testNow() { require('hello.php'); } } $o = new Test(); $o->testNow(); #### ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-03 20:15:30] pegasus at vaultwiki dot org Okay, done some more testing, and I simplified the case too much here. The test I provided works, but the full case does not (works in 5.6.0). I will have to reinvestigate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-03 20:05:55] pegasus at vaultwiki dot org Description: ------------ Per the description, $this is null inside an eval, even if the eval is in the object's scope. Test script: --------------- class Test { public $hello = 'hi'; public function test() { eval('echo $this->hello;'); } } $o = new Test(); $o->test(); Expected result: ---------------- Expect to see printed hi Checking $this itself reveals NULL. Actual result: -------------- Nothing printed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68148&edit=1
